I did have a recipe from a website that posted food gifts, but I can't locate it now

I'll look - it's here, somewhere! It was called "Cocoa in a Jar" or something like that. I'll look.

REC: Hot Cocoa Mix

I made a half batch and everyone loved it.

Hot Cocoa Mix

3 cups nonfat dry milk
2 cups confectioners sugar (I used half Splenda)
1 1/2 cups Dutch processed cocoa
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1/4 tsp salt

combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Take half the mix and grind in food processor, then next half.

Individual serving: 1/3 cup mix to 8 oz hot milk

Note: The milk has to be REALLY hot in order to melt everything and make a smooth drink.

Looks good, but why the cornstarch, I wonder. Just for mouthfeel?

 

[pat-nocal]

My guess is it's use as a thickener...maybe to give the finished cocoa more body?

 

[cheezz]

I like the white chocolate chips idea! It would thicken and have a wonderfully smooth taste!

Mo, how much Splenda did you use to replace 1 cup confectioners' sugar?

 

[monj]

I usually use half the amount. I had halved this recipe to see if

I liked it before using all of those ingredients,
so I used 1/2 cup splenda and 1/2 cup confectioners sugar for a half batch. It was fine sweetness wise.
It made a nice thick hot chocolate, but it took very hot liquid to melt it all. I recommend making it in a pot, then pouring into mugs.
Enjoy!

1/2 a cup of Splenda is a HUGE amount! One little packet sweetens 2 cups of coffee for me.

Are you talking about the loose Splenda in the bag for baking?

 

[angak]

the loose Splenda for baking is not as concentrated as the packets. It measures 1:1 for sugar.

 

[cheezz]

interesting.... I wonder how they "un"concentrate it... or concentrate it to begin with *g*
